Two Allen Center stands at 1200 Smith Street in downtown Houston, a short walk from the Allen Center complex and the downtown tunnels. It is a working office tower: the lobby and upper floors are for tenants and their visitors, so sightseeing inside is not possible. The building is Energy Star labelled.
The tower's name changed with its main tenant: it was the Citicorp Building in 1989, when Exxon had offices there, and later carried the Devon Energy name after that firm occupied space. Devon announced in October 2012 that it was closing its Houston office in the building, affecting 500 jobs.
